Quick and Easy Pizza Quesadillas

This post originally about four and a half years ago so I figured it was time to update the photos and story a bit. These Quick and Easy Pizza Quesadillas are really that–quick, easy AND delicious! A tasty twist on a traditional quesadillas recipe that combines the favorite flavors of pizza, they are perfect for a snack or light dinner. Pair it with a salad and you’ll be set for a healthier meal too.

I normally use turkey pepperoni as it’s lower in sodium and a tad better for you. But what I also like about these Quick and Easy Pizza Quesadillas is that I can add in some vegetables and my family does not mind! I usually add green bell peppers and onions but I’ll occasionally add some mushrooms too (only a couple of us are fans of those–well, really I’m a lover of mushrooms!) I sprinkle a bit of Italian herb seasoning along with the mozzarella cheese, pan fry them up and voila! I’ve got a tasty snack, lunch or light dinner idea. I normally serve the Pizza Quesadillas with some Homemade Spaghetti Sauce –I just leave out the sausage (or store-bought is ok too). These would also be great appetizers or, paired with a garden salad, an even better dinner.

1cuppepperonicooked sausage or other meat that you prefer

1cupchopped vegetables like onionsmushrooms, bell peppers, etc.

Instructions

Heat non-stick skillet to medium-high heat (about 300°). Place tortilla in skillet and layer cheese, pizza seasoning and toppings on one tortilla. Top with another tortilla and heat until crispy, about 3-4 minutes. Press down top tortilla into melted ingredients so it will stick together then flip over and grill another 3-4 minutes.

Let the quesadillas sit for a minute before you slice each into six wedges and serve them with pizza sauce.*

If you’re not familiar with #SundaySupper, the idea is that we all need to take the time, even if it’s just once a week, to get back to the family dinner table and share our time with family. For generations before ours, it was a weekly tradition and it’s something that we hope to make a tradition once again in households across the globe.

Here are some favorites from other bloggers that we are sharing with you during the original #SundaySupper sharing event. I hope you’ll give some of them a try!
